A look at the company’s numbers and it’s easy to see why the stock is up big. Since 2013, every dollar in retained earnings has equated to $11 worth of market value. If that number continues, it’s only a matter of time before the company is worth over $1 trillion. That is not likely to happen anytime soon, but the question is this… priced at $54 billion, could it 10x in the next 10 years? No. If the current 16% retained earnings growth rate continues, the top end market cap would be in the $330 billion range. Don’t get me wrong, that’s fantastic growth. In fact, if achieved and you own some stock, please pat yourself on the back. The problem with this is that the total addressable market for EDA solutions is anticipated to reach somewhere close to $20 billion by the end of the decade. Synopsys gets more than 65% of its revenue from this segment. Today, that equates to 50% of the the market. Saying that it can keep that market share, it would be doing around $15 billion in sales by 2030. At 10x sales, that’s a $150 billion valuation… not quite 3x from today’s price.
